Distribution-Level Contrastive Supervision for Generative Recommendation

SODA, a plug-and-play alignment framework that adopts a BPR-style contrastive objective to align recommender representations with target-side distributional representations against negative ones, is developed and demonstrated that SODA consistently strengthens diverse generative recommendation architectures.

Distribution-Level Contrastive Supervision for Generative Recommendation

Recent generative recommenders improve scalability by retrieving items through token generation instead of traditional ranking over large candidate sets. Yet their training signals are still dominated by discrete code prediction, which overlooks the soft assignment information naturally produced by the tokenizer. This...

Rubric-Aware On-Policy Self-Distillation for LLM Personalization

GRASP is a rubric-aware on-policy self-distillation framework for LLM personalization that turns user-specific rubric aspects into fine-grained, token-level supervision, and Rubric-based Teacher Validation (RTV) is introduced, which retains only instances where the teacher sufficiently covers the target aspects, improv...

Using Context Is Not Enough: Test-Time Training for Personalized Reward Modeling

Preference-Aligned Test-Time Training (P-TTT) is proposed, which explicitly encodes preference relations conveyed by contextual pairs into user-specific fast weights for personalized reward prediction and outperforms state-of-the-art methods by a large margin.

Forgotten History or Test-of-Time? Retrospect and Prospect on RAG from an IR Perspective

It is argued that the core ideas underlying RAG are not new: foundational concepts such as integrating retrieval and language generation, knowledge augmentation, answer verification, and iterative query refinement had already been studied and instantiated in information retrieval (IR) and question answering (QA) resear...

PrefReward: Learning User Preference Matrix for Personalized Text Generation

Experiments on the LongLaMP dataset show that PrefReward outperforms non-personalized and retrieval-based baselines in both generation quality and personalization interpretability.
